近日,中国工程院院士贲德荣膺2025年度国家最高科学技术奖。学习贲老的先进事迹,其做好“第一件事”的经历和教诲,尤其值得刚刚告别军校大门、走进基层部队营门的新排长深思细悟。 “到工作单位后,第一件事情很重要,第一件事情做好了,领导才敢放心地把第二件事情交给你。”贲老至今记得大学毕业时老师的谆谆教导。1963年,贲德从哈工大毕业,被分配到国防部第十研究院第十四研究所。工作后的“第一件事”,是参与研制功率谱密度分析仪中的一个关键部件——振荡器,期限只有一个月。没有现成经验,他硬是凭着坚韧的毅力,啃下200多页俄文资料;设计初稿虽提前完成,但他敏锐察觉到其中瑕疵,毅然推倒重来。正是在做好“第一件事”中展现出的严苛标准与敬业态度,为他叩开了参与研制当时世界上最前沿的相控阵雷达任务的大门,铺就了日后为我国雷达事业立下不朽功勋的基石。 新排长普遍学历高、见识广、思想活,初到部队,往往被寄予厚望、赋予重任。然而,个别同志总觉得自己一身才华,只想“大展身手”,却不愿做“地平线”以下的工作;或因经验不足,放大畏难情绪,最终应付了事。殊不知,九层之台,起于累土。把“第一件事”做好,就是在为自己的信任值、能力值存入一笔宝贵的“原始资本”;敷衍了事、应付交差,无异于透支未来发展的无限可能。信任的积累,从来没有捷径,就藏在你对待每项任务一丝不苟的态度里,体现在“事事有回音、件件有着落”的闭环落实中。 “天下无现成之人才,亦无生知之卓识,大抵皆由勉强磨炼而出耳。”新排长的成长成才是有规律可循的。陈云同志在《增强新党员新干部的党性》一文中对使用年轻干部提出要求,“到下层锻炼。对他们使用的基本原则是,多走逆风,少走顺风,必要时要分配他们不愿干的工作,以磨练其意志”。部队工作是一项实践性很强的工作,没有一番“寒彻骨”的磨砺,不当几回“热锅上的蚂蚁”,不认真对待“第一件事”的托付,就难以获得成长的资本、难以练硬腾飞的翅膀。 当然,做好“第一件事”的深意,不能简单理解为完成首次任务本身,而是蕴含着从一开始就全力以赴的敬业态度、干就干好的坚定决心,以及争创一流的标准要求,反映的是一种难能可贵的初心。从清华校园一路追到导弹发射架下,从扎根基层到破土成长,爱军精武标兵乐焰辉说:“基层经历让我从‘嫩肩膀’变成了‘铁肩膀’,让我在接地气中有了打胜仗的底气。”从努力做好“第一件事”起步,到做好“第二件事”“第三件事”,以至做好“每一件事”,是良好态度、严苛标准的体现,更是对赤诚初心的无悔坚守、对强军使命的忠实践行。 建功火热军营,新排长要有“不打无准备之仗”的稳健务实,主动拜官兵为师,虚心向营连主官学统筹谋划,向老排长学带兵之道,向班长骨干学管理方法,在脚踏实地中强基固本;也应葆有“初生牛犊不怕虎”的锐气和“不破楼兰终不还”的决心,勇于迈出第一步,“敢于在呛水中学会游泳”,把困难挫折当作垫脚石,用失败助推能力升级。把每一项任务当成“第一件事”来重视,把每一次实践当成“第一次”来对待,新排长定能加速完成从高学历向高能力、由理论强向实践强的锻造,在强军兴军的伟大实践中开拓事业、彰显价值、淬火成钢。

Summary

Machine summary

A political education column in PLA official media uses Chinese Academy of Engineering academician Ben De's 2025 National Supreme Science and Technology Award as a vehicle to instruct newly commissioned platoon leaders on professional attitude, citing his 1963 work at the Ministry of National Defense's 14th Research Institute and invoking model soldier Le Yanhui alongside a Chen Yun quotation on tempering junior cadres at lower levels. This is standard political work content directed at the lieutenant cohort entering grassroots units; its value is as a record of how the institution frames competence-building and loyalty to the most junior officer grade, not as evidence of a new policy line. The repeated emphasis on 闭环落实 (closed-loop implementation, meaning every task tracked to completion) and on subordinating individual ambition to assigned work documents the persistent institutional concern that academy-educated platoon leaders arrive overconfident and underperforming at the unit level.
